I had a doctor appointment yesterday (routine Rx refill thing) and asked the doctor how much weight I would need to lose to be "normal" range. She told me about a doctor in another town who is doing gastric bypass with good results. wtf? Surgery? Am I that bad, or so hopeless, that surgery is the first suggested course of action, or has gastric bypass become so routine that it's unremarkable nowadays?

Kickbacks from one "professional" to another. Its all the rage these days. Thats how they'll subsidize their incomes now. I think you'll find it somewhere on about page 1874 in the new bill.
